Mia Wasikowska Gossip

Emma Bovary is never anything less than frustrating, so it’s fitting that the latest screen adaptation of Flaubert’s novel, Madame Bovary, should also be frustrating. Directed by Sophie Barthes and co-written by Barthes and Felipe Marino, Madame Bovary is a gorgeous film that is sometimes inspired and sometimes mundane, but is consistently frustrating. Full Story

The first trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s much anticipated Crimson Peak introduced us to the creepy setting and not much else, but now the international trailer has arrived and it lays out a little more of the story. Mia Wasikowska plays a Victorian lady author who is interested in ghosts and the occult, and Tom Hiddleston seems to be her editor? Publisher? Still not clear. Full Story

There’s a steadily growing swell of hype surrounding Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak, which released its first trailer today (spurred on by a bootleg copy making the rounds after it debuted in front of Fifty Shades of Grey last night—when will studios learn that they cannot stop this from happening and just release trailers BEFORE they’re slated to premiere in theaters?).

David Cronenberg’s next film is called Maps To The Stars featuring Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, and Mia Wasikowska. There’s another reason why Lindsay Lohan will never: Mia Wasikowska, whose chill detachment and uncontrived aloofness (oh hi Rooney Mara) is perfect for Cronenberg’s latest mindf-ck. Full Story

Many nights (they’ve) prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In (their) hearts, a hopeful song
(They) barely understood
Now (they) are not afraid
Although (they) know there's much to fear
(They) were moving mountains long

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve

Rooney Mara, who is the US Lisbeth Salander, and Mia Wasikowska, who could have been the US Lisbeth Salander, were both at the CFDA Awards last night. Which reminds me of this article I posted last week about Rooney saying she didn’t think the other girls who were rumoured for the part were exactly right for the part either and my corresponding paragraph about that strange Hollywood reality:There it is.
